In this new role, he will be responsible for managing the sales process of franchises to real estate brokers in the greater Atlantic region of the U.S.
"We're excited to hire a talented professional who is aligned with our company's strategic vision for the future like David," said Peter Giese, President of United Real Estate. "Having worked closely with David in the past, I know firsthand he has an exceptional aptitude for building successful business networks. This wealth of knowledge and experience makes him uniquely qualified to aid the management team of United Real Estate in executing our aggressive growth plans."
David brings decades of experience and accomplishments in business development and franchise sales to United Real Estate.

"I couldn't be more pleased to be joining the United Real Estate team," said David Ayres. "The rapid growth of United Real Estate proves that our model is unlike any others in the industry.

Since the introduction of its franchise model in April 2013, the company has sold 17 territories under its protected-territory model, expanding to a number of the largest metropolitan areas of the United States. The United franchise solution not only provides a full-service solution to both brokers and agents, but with a small flat-fee payment structure it also eliminates the cumbersome royalty fee and high monthly fees that most traditional franchisors charge in urban America.
